Former Patriots linebacker Jerod Mayo calls the actions of dog trainer Amelia Ferriera “disgusting and inhumane,” after the Rhode Island Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RISPCA) found the dead body of Mayo’s five-year-old English bulldog, Knox, in Ferriera’s Cranston apartment.
“Unfortunately, the answers we prayed for regarding Knox aren’t ones we were ready to face,” Mayo and his wife, Chantel, wrote on Instagram Monday. “Knox has passed and his BODY WAS FOUND IN THE HOME OF THE OFFLEASH TRAINER. It’s disgusting and inhumane that a company full of ‘dog lovers’ would hide a family pet IN A CLOSET FOR TWO MONTHS and compulsively lie and send us on a wild goose hunt and our kids on an emotional rollercoaster.
